This Stretch Routine Will Instantly Upgrade Your Day

If you know me, you know I'm all about trying new things, new places, and supporting LOCAL.  My entire life, even back when I was athletic (ha!), I knew that I was one of the least flexible human beings ever. I started seeing a lot of stretch routines on Instagram via a guy right here in the Treasure Valley and once I learned he will actually do the stretching FOR you, I had to try it.

Kody Olinger is a strength and conditioning coach here in the Treasure Valley and a stretching expert-- he practices what is called "Fascial Stretch Therapy" and has worked with some of the biggest names in sports around the country-- as well as that annoying guy on the radio here in Boise, now!

I signed up for an hour with Kody last week and was looking forward to my appointment all day. After evaluating how flexible (or not) that I was, I got up on a table and laid there like a wet noodle for an entire hour while Kody stretched me out. You would think it might hurt a little but if anything, every stretch felt like a major relief off of my body. By the time I stood up to walk, I could actually feel a difference, especially in my ankles-- I felt so fresh!

Check out how much further I was able to move my arms and shoulders after the session:

If you have a sit down job or just feel real stiff in general, you've got to try out what Kody has going on here in Boise. I'm blown away--but glad I tried something new and local regardless.
